Modules in the Authoring Tag Set and JATS DTD Suite
The Suite was created to allow a multiplicity of tag sets, based on the needs of the
intended use, for example, an authoring tag set versus one for a repository. The Authoring Tag
Set (JATS-articleauthoring1.dtd) and its specific customization modules (%articleauthcustom-classes.ent;, %articleauthcustom-mixes.ent;, %articleauthcustom-models.ent;, and %articleauthcustom-modules.ent;) define an authoring tag set focused
on consistent modeling, processing and searching capability. The following modules are critical
for the customization process that creates this Tag Set:
Authoring Tag Set | (File name JATS-articleauthoring1.dtd) The top-level Authoring Tag Set Module
that declares the document element (<article>)
and the other top-level elements that define a journal article (front matter, body, and back
matter). All elements but these few are declared in the modules of the Suite. The DTD invokes
all the other modules it uses, by reference, as external parameter entities: first the
Authoring Tag-Set-specific Module of Modules is called to name all Article Authoring-specific
customized modules, then the Suite Module of Modules is called to name all the potential
modules from the Suite, then customized and default modules are called (for parameter
entities naming element classes, mixes, and models), then the Common Module for shared
elements and attribute lists is called, and finally all the other modules are called as
needed, including the Tag-Set-specific element module, %nlmcitation.ent;. |
---|---|
Module to Name Authoring Tag-Set-specific Modules | (parameter entity %articleauthcustom-modules.ent;) Defines all the external modules that are specific to the Authoring Tag Set (except
itself, which must be both named and called inside a DTD). A tag set selects from these
modules by referencing the module names through external parameter entities. The entities are
declared in the Authoring Tag-Set-specific Module of Modules (%articleauthcustom-modules.ent;), but referenced (or not) in the
DTD proper. To include a set of elements (such as all the lists or all the MathML elements),
a DTD references the external parameter entity of the module that contains these
declarations. Implementor’s Note: The Authoring
Tag-Set-specific Module of Modules and the Suite Module to Name the Modules (along with the MathML 3 modules, if used) need to be the among the first three external modules called by the Authoring DTD. Customization modules for classes,
mixes, and models will typically be called following the Authoring Tag-Set-specific Modules
and the Module to Name the Modules. |
Suite Module to Name the Modules | (parameter entity %modules.ent;) Defines all the
external modules that are part of the modular JATS DTD Suite (except itself,
which must be both named and called inside a DTD). A tag set selects from these modules by
referencing the module names through external parameter entities. The entities are declared
in the Module to Name the Modules (%modules.ent;), but
referenced (or not) in the DTD proper. To include a set of elements (such as all the article
metadata or all the display elements) a DTD references the external parameter entity of the
module that contains these declarations. Implementor’s Note: The Authoring
Tag-Set-specific Modules and the Suite Module to Name the Modules (along with the MathML 3 modules, if used) need to be the among the first three
external modules called by the Authoring DTD. Customization modules for classes, mixes, and
models will typically be called following the Authoring Tag-Set-specific Modules and the
Module to Name the Modules. |
Authoring Tag Set Class Customizations Module | (parameter entity %articleauthcustom-classes.ent;) Sets up parameter entities that will be used to override default classes prescribed by
the %default-classes.ent; module Implementor’s Note: This module must be called
after the Authoring Tag-Set-specific Modules (%articleauthcustom-modules.ent;) and the Suite Module to Name the
Modules (%modules.ent;) but before any other module,
including specifically the %default-classes.ent;
module (which this module overrides) and the %articleauthcustom-mixes.ent; and %articleauthcustom-models.ent; modules (which build on this
module). |
Suite Default Element Classes Module | (parameter entity %default-classes.ent;) Sets up
the parameter entities that name the element members of each class that will be used to
establish the content models Implementor’s Note: This module must be called
before the Article Authoring override Mixes Module (%articleauthcustom-mixes.ent;) and the Default Element Mixes
Module (%default-mixes.ent;), as well as the Article
Authoring override Models Module, %articleauthcustom-models.ent; (which builds on those modules). |
Authoring Tag Set Mix Customizations Module | (parameter entity %articleauthcustom-mixes.ent;)
Sets up parameter entities that will be used to override default mixes (groupings made of
“classes”) prescribed by the %default-mixes.ent; module Implementor’s Note: This module must be called
after the Article Authoring override Classes Module (%articleauthcustom-classes.ent;) and the Default Classes Module
(%default-classes.ent;) but before any other module,
including specifically the %default-mixes.ent; module
(which this module overrides) and the %articleauthcustom-models.ent; module (which builds on this module). |
Suite Default Element Mixes Module | (parameter entity %default-mixes.ent;) Sets up
the parameter entities that name mixes (groupings made of “classes”) that will
be used to establish the content models Implementor’s Note: This module must be called
before the Article Authoring override Models Module (%articleauthcustom-models.ent;) or any “base”
module of the interchange Suite. |
Article Authoring Tag Set Customize Content and Attributes Module | (parameter entity %articleauthcustom-models.ent;)
sets up parameter entities that will be used to override default content model parameter
entities set elsewhere in the Suite. Also defines customizable attribute Declared Values and
attribute lists for the tag set being defined. Implementor’s Note: This module must be called
after the Article Authoring override Mixes Module (%articleauthcustom-mixes.ent;) and Default Mixes Module
(%default-mixes.ent;) but before any
“base” module of the interchange Suite. |
The NISO JATS common modules, which are overridden by the customizations, include the
following:
Suite Module to Name the Modules | (parameter entity %modules.ent;)
Defines all the external modules that are part of the modular NISO JATS DTD Suite (except the module
itself, which must be both named and called inside a DTD).
A Tag Set selects from the Suite modules by referencing the module names through
external parameter entities. The entities are declared in the Module to Name the
Modules (%modules.ent;), but referenced (or
not) in the DTD proper. To include a set of elements (such as all the article
metadata or all the display elements) a DTD references the external parameter
entity of the module that contains these declarations. Implementor’s Note: The
Authoring Tag-Set-specific Module of Modules and the Suite Module
to Name the Modules (along with the MathML 3 modules, if used) need to be the among the first three external
modules called by the Authoring DTD. Customization modules for
classes, mixes, and models are typically be called next, following
these two. |
---|---|

modules and any namespacing modules, but
before all customization (over-ride) modules. |
Suite Default Element Classes Module | (parameter entity %default-classes.ent;) Sets up the parameter entities that name the element members of each class
that will be used to establish the content models Implementor’s Note: This module must be called before
the Authoring DTD Customize Mixes Module
(%articleauthcustom-mixes.ent;) and the
Default Element Mixes Module (%default-mixes.ent;), as well as the Authoring DTD Customize Models Module, %articleauthcustom-models.ent; (which builds on those
modules). |
Suite Default Element Mixes Module | (parameter entity %default-mixes.ent;)
Sets up the parameter entities that name mixes (groupings made of
“classes”) that will be used to establish the content models Implementor’s Note: This module must be called before
the Authoring DTD Customize Models Module

“base” module of the NISO JATS DTD Suite. |
Common (Shared) Elements Module | (parameter entity %common.ent;)
Declarations for elements, attributes, entities, and notations that are shared by
more than one class module Implementor’s Note: This module must be called before any of the modules comprising the
